extended trip through the cities of the
Southwest, for the purpose of introducing
his celebrated Blood Purifier, the Prickly
Ash, Poke Root and Potassium compound,

markable cures made, where all other reme-
dies and treatments had failed. DR.. White
head offers to treat all who will apply to

At THE THEATRE.
Thomas w. Keene in Hamlet" To
Night-The Warblers.

Thomas w. Keene in Hamlet To-
Night-The Warblers.
Savannah's favorite tragedian, Thomas
w. Keene, will be the attraction at the
theatre the rest of the week. He will open
his engagement tonight with Hamlet. "
His Hamlet" says the Nashville Ameri-
can is one of the best on the stage. The
spontaniety which characterizes Mr.
Keenes acting is peculiarly his own in his
manner of demonstration. 1t is erroneous
to say that an impulsive actor has methods,
for such a one relies to a large extent upon
inspiration, yet the result of that inspira-
tiop will show itself similarly upon each oc .
casion, owing to the personality of the
actor. But these methods differ from
the studied, posing elocution of the
actor who measures each silence and counts
his step each time in crossing the stage
The precision of the latter actor insures a
reliability in his powers. After he has OBJ
tanned a good result, his mathematical art
may make it certain for him TO obtain that
result every time, and the illusions which he
strives to produce may be nearly perfect.
But his excellence, compared with the
naturalness OF the impulsive actor, is what
the music of the orchestrion is to the
orchestra, or the copy to the picture.
Mr.. Keenes temperance upon the stage
after an absence of two years has won for
him new favor with the public His return
to Savannah is an event which the amuse-
ment public will not fail to appreciate.

NO MORE HOME RUNS.
Southern League Players Gone into

Winter Quarters.
The season of home runs is over in the
! South. Southern League players have
mostly gone into winter quarters. The sea-
son was not as successful as it might have
been, but it furnished sport for the people
and that was what it was for.
The Memphis Avalanche writes its
obituary when it says: THE season for out
door sports is practically at an end, and
base ball, the most popular of them all in
America, must 20 into winter quarters with
the rest The Southern League has not been
successful in the full sense of the term. 1t
did not promise much in the opening of the
season, it is true, but after permanent Or
ganiZation had been effected there were good
reasons for believing that the close of the
season would find the league with q better
prospect of reorganization the coming spring
than at the end of any previous summer. 1t
was soon discovered, however, that the har-
mony necessary for complete success did not
prevail. Disputes arose between the differ
ent clubs, bitterness crept in between man
ayers and the sport degenerated for time
into little more or less than a mere hippo
drome. Instances of unfairness of attempts
to deceive, of careleSsness on the part of the
players, and, in fact, of whole clubs, became
so numerous that people became disguised,
anu Jne dGUeuQaIlCe ana TecelptS accordingly
fell away Base ball. to be popular, must
be earnest
The outlook for next season is not very
bright 1t will be some time yet, though,
before preparations will begin and there is
no telling what will be brought forth
There are lively times already in New Or
leans. At the last meeting Of the league
club one of the prominent directors was
frozen out. He at once went to work and
organized a new stock company, with a
capital of 100000 Both clubs are now
writing to all the Southern League cities,
asking their support. Both are anxious to
get into the Southern League, and an ex-
ceedingly lively time is anticipated at the
first league meeting.
The New Orleans clubs record is a good
one. 1t won at home 80 games, and lost at
home a. Charleston did not lose one game
at home under the home umpire rule, nor
have they lost game on the home grounds
since Aug. l that was with Memphis. New
Orleans has played III games to Charles
toms 107 games. New Orleans is the only
club in the league that played all its games
New Orleans is the only club that has made
any money this season. 1t is the only club
that has ever come out even or better finan-
cially in the Southern League, and is the
only club that has ever, in any established
league, won the pennant the first season.

A BRIDES MIsHAPs.
How Lots of Little Things Went
Wrong at Cupid's Crisis.


How Lots of Little Things Went
Wrong at Cupid's Crisis.
The Omaha Bee relates the following
serio-comic story of brides misadven-
lures
1t was reserved for bride lately to suffer
a complication of accidents, and get mar
ried after all. The young lady left the
house and got ten blocks away when she
discovered that she had not put on her bri-
dial veil. 1t was not the regulation
square or blonde lace, but a lovely Brussels
not richly wrought by the nuns in the Con-
vent Of the Sacre CRur, in Montreal.
Back went the bride for this gorgeous por
ton of her raiment. 1t was thrown over
her in the carriage, and the wedding pro-
cession again started. This time a breath
| of air produced an inclination to sneeze
| The poor bride repressed it, but it escaped
at last and, oh, horror on horrors head, her
white satin waist split from belt TO shoulder
Here occurred halt-this time at a little
shop where thread and needle were obtained,
! and the gaping space with difficulty was
covered.
At last, much too late, that unfortunate
woman reached the church. In stepping
nervously from the carriage the lace bot
tom of an underpetticoat caught on the
! step, and she felt the fastening give way
y
cruel skirt slip, slip, till she feared she
would have to step out of it at the very
altar. She took a grip on The side, and on
she went During the entire service she
slung to it like grim death. She let go for
a moment to get her glove off for the ring,
and when she resumed her hold she felt
| that it had gained on her. Like Florence
! Wallack, she might have been married with
the catechism or the churching of women,
for all she knew. She had these thoughts:
''Will that petticoat be dropped in the aisle,
will shed it ON the sidewalk before the mob
as l climb into the carriagef Is it the lawn
skirt, with three ruffies of Valenciennes, or
is it that little blue embroidered cashmere
ma made me wear so wouldn't take coldn
The perspiration started on her pallid brow
as she hurriedly made the responses, and
half fainting made her way down the aisle.
Don't lose your presence of mind,
dear" whispered the young husband.
cts my petticoat I'm losing returned
the lady. pettishly.
When once in the carriage the sentimental
bridegroom pressed her hand and said:
cat last the prize is mine"
She said the same thing as she kicked the
dreadful petticoat under the carriage seat.

An American Railway Congress.

The Railway Congress at Milan, which
has so brilliantly supplemented the good
work done by the first congress at Brussels,
the RdillCay Age says, is worthy of little
thought as a possible progenitor of an
American railway congress. This European
congress is the title given an international
association that was organized as result of
a congress held at Brussels in 1885. The
word congress is also applied to the biennial
conventions or meetings held by this asso-
citation. The idea of the association is
practically identical with that which ami
mates the holding of conventions or meet
ing by our numerous bodies of civil
and mechanical engineers, and of craftsmen
and professors generally. The members
meet to give out their ideas, relate their ex-
periences, and listen to and discuss the ideas
and experiences of their fellows. All the
European nations are represented in this
international association, as are also India,
Egypt and Algeria, and in the Western
hemisphere Brazil, Mexico and the Argen
tine Republic. Something like IS, 900 miles
of railway are represented. At the
Brussels congress the United States
was represented by Mr.. E. 7. Jeffery, Gen
eral Manager of the Illinois Central railway,
and at the Milan congress by Mr.. Theodore
n. Ely, superintendent of the motive power
of the Pennsylvania railroad The radical
differences in the conditions and methods of
European and American railway practice
operate to prevent a very active participa-
ton in European congress upon our part
The work of the congress is very systemat-
ically laid out, and it is enabled to.dispatch
a large amount of business in its one week
session by a division into sections, after the
manner of our leading scientific associa-
